Angelina Lusher, a supervisor at RSPCA Leybourne Animal Centre near West Malling, Kent, said: "We've tried all our usual contacts to rehome these birds with responsible and experienced owners, but still need to find them good new homes.

"With Beaky, the new owner shouldn't mind bad language as he comes out with some rude words."

The RSPCA said only people with experience and knowledge of exotic birds are wanted to rehome them.

Anyone interested in giving Beaky or Captain Scarlet a new home can contact Leybourne on 0300 123 0751.
